|
|
| They keep showing a commercial on TV with the song "Desperado", and it's starting to get into my head and to make me want to download it. Unfortunately, I can't find the right version/artist. Anybody know who the singer is? Anybody else like the song? |

yeah, i like the chick's version of it. i downloaded the clint black version and the (original, i think) johnny cash version, but they both suck.
what about that commercial with the song: "i was five and he was six, bang bang, my baby shut me down" |

The song was most famously sung by "The Eagles". You'll recognise that song when you hear it. It was covered by Johnny Cash later on.  |

| I think s/he wants the version in the commercial, with the woman singing. |

Yup, that's right. I've downloaded some of the other versions and they're okay, but I'm really trying to find the one from the commercial. Something about the lilt of the singer's voice... |

| Linda Rondstadt is the female singer you seek. |

bang bang, my baby shot me down..
i think that's Bang Bang, by Nancy Sinatra. well, she does it anyway..not sure it's the version in the commercial, but I believe it is. I looked for it and downloaded it, after hearing it on the commercial.  |

Desperado was written by the Eagles and is part of an entire album. It's worth a listen. Linda Ronstadt, among many others, covered it.
Bang! Bang! was Cher's first solo hit (I think) back when she was still married to Sonny. 1966 I think. Don't know who covered it. |

yeah, shot me down. that's it. the commercial then starts to go into a heavy clubbing beat, so i don't think it's nancy, unless it's been sampled. |

It's Nancy Sinatra's voice and a remix of the original.
